I would LOVE if they did throwback covers. One of my most beloved covers has my old name that I do not associate with now and would love an opportunity to get an clean version of the cover. Please keep being our voice for this!!
I love this! Thank you for sharing your ideas. You’re right, these planners are not inexpensive and I’ve been wanting to maximize my use of the planner. This was perfect! Thank you thank you thank you ❤
LOVE this!! I need to get those movies watched and books read stickers! I like that idea for using those back pages for those. I never used mine either, but I've been trying to find ways to use them!
Thank you so much for sharing your planner setup, and more importantly the your thought processes as you go along. My choice for this year is the new EC A5 after A few years away from EC, and loving this size. Again, thanks
I decided to use the Daily Duo in the floral print this year. I have always used the hourly but have wanted to try the Daily Duo after seeing you plan in them. I think it is going to work perfect for me! I love how you set up the back note pages. I have always used a page for books read but love the other ideas! I will definitely incorporate that into my planner. I use the first calendar year for my kids school schedules like you used too. I am a teacher so I use the boxes page for my school related things for each month. Excited to see your new plan with me in your new planner!
Omg watching you buy this beautiful planner and then rip out most of the pages right off the bat was shocking for me! Lol. But I love that you know exactly what you want and need -- planners can get so overwhelming for me, but I'm inclined to get as many daily and weekly pages as possible.
What a fun setup!! I'm a calendar year gal so by the time I get around to ordering, I've watched soooo many videos and have so many options for what to do with the new planner. Cheers!
Julie, perhaps you could you use that extra page for “reflections” of the month past (previous month); pictures, highlights, etc. OR a running “Wish List” for (planner) things you want to buy or are interested in?🤷🏾♀️
YES me too. I am going to use my notes pages this year. They are my "pretty panties" that I don't wear because I know I will need them later. My 2022 notes are blank 😕
I frankenplanned this year so I have lots of notes pages this time. I’m including a to-watch list for movies and shows, a book shelf page to add titles I read, a go-to dinner list, a weight watchers friendly on the go list of foods I can order out at places that are point friendly, a weight loss goals page with awards for milestones hit, a house/cleaning list, and who knows what else. I’m also having a year where I want to really make use of my notes section!
This is exactly what I used to do -- rip out the extra weekly pages. Last year I switched to a traditional yearly 2022, so I won't need to worry about it! The lined page before the month is where I keep a running list of online orders. I write in with the date ordered and then check off and place the date it arrived.
Happy anniversary Ms. Julie! 25 years is special! And I loved this video because you really made your EC planner yours! I love the creativity!! I have a horizontal layout 7x9 with Hello Kitty on it and I can’t wait to put all the cajillion stickers I recently bought and decorate it MsVickie2U style 😁😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️🎊🎉🎈🌹
So glad to be back watching your videos. I was in a total planner funk for about a month 😩😩. But I’m back and ready to plan with you. You have given me so many ideas for my planner. I feel like I waste so much of my planner because I don’t use all the pages. Now I see how I can use them!!’ ❤️❤️❤️
I never knew planner set-ups were a thing, but now I do & I can’t wait to set-up mine! I’m a first time viewer & subscriber!! Can’t wait to watch more videos 😍
Love this! I have the exact same one but starting it in September to correlate with the school year for my kids. Love love love this colour scheme and I am trying to match things and go kind of neutral unless it’s a themed week or something. Then all my colourful PK and KAD stickers will make an appearance! EC definitely needs to make this cover available again! It’s PERFECT for the neutral theme!
This might be a very unpopular opinion but I wish I could order planners without covers since I have so many. especially when the ones currently on their website aren’t my favorite & you’re forced to pick something. Also loved this video…I would watch a 5 hour video 😂
Loved watching your set up. If you make a five hour version, I am in! 😀 Using the EC A5 Daily Duo for work and the A5 Compact Vertical for home ( both Harmony Neutral 😍). Can’t wait to get into them!
I’m using the same 2 planners plus the academic planner since I’m in my last year of my paralegal certificate program. I was going to use the compact vertical for home/school but I realized it would be too much so I ordered the 7x9 coiled academic planner. I can’t wait to get into mine either!
Hello Julie and Claudia, I am normally “EC Team Horizontal”, but this year I am “Team EC 5 Different Planners”-Horizontal, Daily, Compact Vertical, TLP, and Monthly.
I think I’ve decided on the focused teacher planner made vertical! It was a tough choice but that’s the one that’s drawing me back in after planning a few weeks in the back of a few different planners 😂
Starting in July, I'll be using an EC ColorBlends Horizontal Planner for health + wellness, and a Passion Planner Daily that I got printed and put on a coil. But, I might change my mind and buy a new EC DD.
This was soooo satisfying to watch. Popular opinion: if something is enjoyable, we’ll watch for however long it takes. Duration is irrelevant. P.S loving the throwback page and your take on the vellum ❤️
That cover 💕 This academic year I’m going daily duo which I hope to also incorporate memory keeping into with my HP sprocket. I’ll have to figure out how to keep it “cleaner”. Last year I used a horizontal for memory keeping and vertical for day to day, trying it all in one this year. Question- where did you get your watch band? So cute! And the ring on your right hand is very unique!
Your set up is beautiful. What a pity we can't find those products in France. My best friend who is fighting cancer had literally stars in her eyes when she discovered the Erin Condren planners. I tried all my best to surprise her, but unsuccessfully.
How do you use your perpetual calendar? I have bought academic year planners for the last two years, but this year I bought an 18 month calendar. I want to use a yearly planner for January 2024. I loved your ideas on using the note pages. I tracked books read, but on the monthly dashboards. I like your idea better. How do you use your dashboard pages? Thanks for the video.
I'm using the current planner I'm in. I like watching these videos while I do my planner set ups and budget check in. I wish EC would make the perpetual calendars an option when ordering. I never use mine and always feel bad wasting it.
Have you ever tried the Focus collection planners? I have been wanting to try one, but it's hard to make the decision without seeing my reviews/flip thru's on them.
Love this video! I think I'm going to grab this exact planner later this year, for '23. I'm currently in SO MANY things & wanting to make the most use out of them. I picked an EC flora vertical (7x9) for memory planning, which is stalled. I also have an A5 coiled DD, which I got during the 50% off sale, and I'm loving it for every day. THEN...I got the A5 In Bloom agenda in Compact Vertical during launch and am curious about it. Question: This video mentions the Canon Ivy. How do you like this in comparison to the HP sprocket, which I think you used to use?
Hi Julie! I love this set up video thank you for sharing! I was wondering with the year at a glance pages that you use dots to mark paydays etc - what happens when 2 or more things happen on one day?
Not odd at all. In fact, it’s one of the key features of this planner- the interchangeable covers. I love that this brand allows you to customize it even further by changing the covers as you want to! What would be the point of even offering that feature and then not utilizing it?
As an insomniac, I would totally watch a five hour planner set up from you, Julie 😂
Same!! Insomniacs unite!! 🙋🏻♀️
The extra notes page could be used as a vision board or for photos of your favorite memories from the month!
I would LOVE if they did throwback covers. One of my most beloved covers has my old name that I do not associate with now and would love an opportunity to get an clean version of the cover. Please keep being our voice for this!!
I’m going to keep trying!
I love this! Thank you for sharing your ideas. You’re right, these planners are not inexpensive and I’ve been wanting to maximize my use of the planner. This was perfect! Thank you thank you thank you ❤
Really liked this vid. Loved the aesthetics. Also your explanations are nice and clear. Thanks very much 🇨🇦❤️
Set-up videos are definitely one of my top favorite videos!! Thanks for sharing!
The PlannerKate Flora transparent dots match the Harmony Neutral!
So late on watching, but I love the photo idea! Totally copied this for my 2023 planner. Thank you!
Hi Julie, trying to find your monthly stickers used for your 'goals and dreams' section of your planner.
Such a great video! Wish I could thumbs it up twice. I feel totally inspired to set up my own planner now. Thank you, so much! ☺️
Thank you so much!
I FINALLY took the plunge yesterday and purchased my first EC life planner! I am super excited and looking for more inspiration from your videos! :)
I’m waiting for mine too 😊
I’m using the daily duo this year so excited
LOVE this!! I need to get those movies watched and books read stickers! I like that idea for using those back pages for those. I never used mine either, but I've been trying to find ways to use them!
Thank you so much for sharing your planner setup, and more importantly the your thought processes as you go along. My choice for this year is the new EC A5 after A few years away from EC, and loving this size. Again, thanks

I had to skip when you tore out the pages LOL but the coil does look roomy!!
I decided to use the Daily Duo in the floral print this year. I have always used the hourly but have wanted to try the Daily Duo after seeing you plan in them. I think it is going to work perfect for me! I love how you set up the back note pages. I have always used a page for books read but love the other ideas!

I would love for them to do throwback covers. I loved the zen gems one and couldn't afford an ec back then. That cover was so cute.
I hope they reconsider a throwback sale too. Your replacement cover is gorgeous!
What a fun setup!! I'm a calendar year gal so by the time I get around to ordering, I've watched soooo many videos and have so many options for what to do with the new planner. Cheers!
That’s awesome!
Julie, perhaps you could you use that extra page for “reflections” of the month past (previous month); pictures, highlights, etc. OR a running “Wish List” for (planner) things you want to buy or are interested in?🤷🏾♀️
Thank you for teaching me that I can take off my current Erin Condren covers and move them to a new planner "body"!! They should sell just that!
YES me too. I am going to use my notes pages this year. They are my "pretty panties" that I don't wear because I know I will need them later. My 2022 notes are blank 😕

I'm here for this!!! Your aesthetic is GORGEOUS! 💗💗💗
I'm going to do the same thing with the vellum from my JMT planner. Thank you!!!
I use that additional note page for reflections for the month.
I chose the same planner! And the way you set yours up is so cute, thanks for the inspo!
Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I used to do -- rip out the extra weekly pages. Last year I switched to a traditional yearly 2022, so I won't need to worry about it! The lined page before the month is where I keep a running list of online orders. I write in with the date ordered and then check off and place the date it arrived.
Also using harmony neutral hourly! I set up my planner alongside your video! 🥰
Love this video! I could watch you for 5 hours. Blessings.
Thank you Wendy!
I could totally have watched a longer set up video!! Loved this- got some new ideas. Thanks 😊
Thank you!
Happy anniversary Ms. Julie! 25 years is special! And I loved this video because you really made your EC planner yours! I love the creativity!! I have a horizontal layout 7x9 with Hello Kitty on it and I can’t wait to put all the cajillion stickers I recently bought and decorate it MsVickie2U style 😁😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️🎊🎉🎈🌹
That interchangeable cover with the neutral tabs and platinum coil is 🤤
Right?!?! I hope they bring it back!
So glad to be back watching your videos. I was in a total planner funk for about a month 😩😩. But I’m back and ready to plan with you. You have given me so many ideas for my planner. I feel like I waste so much of my planner because I don’t use all the pages. Now I see how I can use them!!’ ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back!
I immediately pulled out my EC and starting using some of your ideas! Great video.
Yay! And thank you 😊
I never knew planner set-ups were a thing, but now I do & I can’t wait to set-up mine! I’m a first time viewer & subscriber!! Can’t wait to watch more videos 😍

Totally loving your makeup! Soft and natural. I have a love hate relationship with eyeliner…. Eyeliner usually wins!
That cover looks AMAZING with those tabs. I would love it if they brought back some former designs for us to order now. Great set up video Julie!
Loved watching your set up. If you make a five hour version, I am in! 😀 Using the EC A5 Daily Duo for work and the A5 Compact Vertical for home ( both Harmony Neutral 😍). Can’t wait to get into them!

Love it! I have the Neutral Harmony Daily Duo. I'm ready to set it up this weekend!
Beautiful cover! Wish we could order it!! You inspired me to just go for it and rip out my pages!!
Not in a spiral bound planner season of life but as always beautiful set up!!
Love this! Can definitely print out some Pinterest ideas to add to the projects page. 🙂
Great planner set up!! Thank you for sharing! I’m going to try horizontal this year we’ll see how it goes stay tuned 😆

I hope to be starting a planner with some inserts from etsy since it’s more affordable than ECs but I hope to have one someday
I ❤️all Harmony Neutral!
Love your ideas! I'm moving into the Vertical colorful Harmony. I'm going to try and stay in it at least three months. LOL
MORE of this please!
❤️❤️❤️. Love tutus set up! Take out the paper squiggly in the middle near March! 🤣
I left it there on purpose 😈 jk jk 🤣
All for a five hour planner video!! I literally stay up most of the night watching planner videos! Lol No shame here! 💁🏻♀️
This was soooo satisfying to watch. Popular opinion: if something is enjoyable, we’ll watch for however long it takes. Duration is irrelevant. P.S loving the throwback page and your take on the vellum ❤️
Trying out the daily duo for the first time

oh no, I'm so sorry!
How do you use your perpetual calendar? I have bought academic year planners for the last two years, but this year I bought an 18 month calendar. I want to use a yearly planner for January 2024. I loved your ideas on using the note pages. I tracked books read, but on the monthly dashboards. I like your idea better. How do you use your dashboard pages? Thanks for the video.
I have never used the perpetual calendar, I don’t have a use for it.
I chose the same planner !
I haven’t had a chance to set up anything in it yet ! Hopefully soon !
I love set up videos! And I would watch a 5 hour one lmao 🤣
Thank you 🥰🥰😘
Contemplating looking into Eric condren. How many blank pages does it come with? Thank you!
I'm using the current planner I'm in. I like watching these videos while I do my planner set ups and budget check in. I wish EC would make the perpetual calendars an option when ordering. I never use mine and always feel bad wasting it.
Same! I never use them and feels so wasteful throwing them out
Have you ever tried the Focus collection planners? I have been wanting to try one, but it's hard to make the decision without seeing my reviews/flip thru's on them.
Long time EC user here… I was gonna switch to an Amplify planner in July. This video made me wanna run straight back to EC 😂😂
My work here is done 😂
Sticker boom functional stickers on the notes page before the monthly tab. I did it in a vertical layout and I loved it!
I love your setup! I can’t wait to go home and setup mine. Off work me please! 😂😂😂
I’m about to tackle the 7 x 9 Daily Duo…..
does the huge spiral bound ever cause an issue when using the planner?
Yeah definitely not too long lol I was setting my own notes pages up while watching!
Thank you!
Newbie question: from reading another comment, you can reinsert the pages you removed? If so, that is fantastic!
No you cannot
Love this video! I think I'm going to grab this exact planner later this year, for '23. I'm currently in SO MANY things & wanting to make the most use out of them.

Question: This video mentions the Canon Ivy. How do you like this in comparison to the HP sprocket, which I think you used to use?
Hi Julie! I love this set up video thank you for sharing! I was wondering with the year at a glance pages that you use dots to mark paydays etc - what happens when 2 or more things happen on one day?
That’s why I am limiting what I’m using it for. Our pay days would never fall on the same day. Stickers can be layered by staggering them!
Yes I think that’s the problem I usually have haha I choose too many things to track! I love the use of the circles that are just outline too
Anybody know of another sticker shop that makes the stickers for the notes pages? I checked with Fern Creek and she doesn't make them anymore. Thanks
Hi I was asking what you are doing with the pages hourly can I buy them of you
They have already been claimed!
That cover is beautiful. Your photo printer prints beautifully. 😍😍
Yep, I’m going to need to purchase an EC after this video 😂
🤣🤣🤣 glad I could help!
I'm also not a reader but I have really enjoyed listening to audio books. Maybe that could be an option for you.
That’s a great option!
I’ve always wondered why EC doesn’t sell the 18 month without the weekly pages. Seems so wasteful.
:)
I think it is odd that you would rave about how gorgeous a planner is and then immediately change the cover. 😀
Not odd at all. In fact, it’s one of the key features of this planner- the interchangeable covers. I love that this brand allows you to customize it even further by changing the covers as you want to!
